Before you start
Secret Sales is a flash sale marketplace in the United Kingdom, founded in 2007, with fashion, beauty, homeware, electronics and lifestyle products from brands and designers at discounted prices. It is a gated marketplace: Secret Sales decides who sells there, so the seller account is arranged with them first. Have that account, an API key and your Store Id ready before you connect.
Secret Sales runs on Mirakl, the software behind most retailer marketplaces we connect, so the wizard looks the same as for every other Mirakl marketplace. You need one API key from Secret Sales.
We connect Secret Sales for the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Germany and Sweden.
Steps
Both values come from your own Secret Sales seller back office on Mirakl, never from e-tailize: create the API key there and copy it in full, and look up the store id on the main page of your seller account. One tile covers all seven options and six countries, because Belgium sits in the list twice, once for Dutch and once for French, so that choice also sets the language we send.
Open "Settings" in the left sidebar and click "Connections".
Click "New connection", or open the marketplace wizard directly.
Pick "Marketplace" in the chooser and click the Secret Sales logo under "Connect marketplace provider".
The wizard for Secret Sales: "Fill in required connection tokens" with the fields of Secret Sales Fill in "Connection name", your own reference for this connection.
Paste the value into "API KEY". The field is masked, so you see dots instead of what you pasted.
Pick the country you sell in under "Where do you offer your products?". The list holds "Belgium (Dutch)", "Belgium (French)", "Germany", "Spain", "Sweden", "The Netherlands" and "United Kingdom".
Fill in "Store Id".
Click "Save".
Click "Validation" in the left sidebar, pick the Secret Sales tile and click "Add missing PIM tabs" on every category you sell there.
Fill the mandatory Secret Sales fields on those tabs and click "Validate products". Get a product live walks through that screen step by step.
Click "Listing", pick the Secret Sales tile, select your validated products and click "List content". Click "List offers" once the content is through.
What happens next
Content and offers are two steps here, so list your content first and list your offers once the content is through. The listing screen keeps the status per product and the reason Secret Sales gave for a product it refused.
The connection appears on the "API connections" page and as a card under "Existing connections" on the dashboard, and it starts feeding your dashboard, your orders and your stock. Orders from Secret Sales come in under "Fulfillment" and then "Orders", with the same "Open", "Processing" and "Closed" filters as your other channels.
Common problems
Leave "API KEY", "Where do you offer your products?" or "Store Id" empty and that field comes back with "The value provided was not of the correct format". An empty "Connection name" comes back with "Connection name is required" instead. A key copied halfway, or regenerated in the back office afterwards, saves and then moves nothing, so create a fresh key. From a PIM tab we map at most nine images per product.
